They didn't license anything from Wacom (something bery obvious if you bothered to go to the link and read the specs). The pen for this thing (probably looks nothing like the one in the picture, which indeed looks like an Intuos 3 pen) require a AAA battery inside. Wacom's pens are battery-less.
What's incredible is that these bozos who can't even get a picture of their own pen in their web site has the gall to charge even MORE for this thing than Wacom's already rediculous price for their LCD tablets. There's the new 17" Wacom DTF-720 that goes for $100 LESS list than this unknown quality Johnny come lately. Nice way to try to break into a Wacom's iron-grip monopoly in this market, geniuses.
Also, their website is quite suspect. The buy link for the tablet takes me to an ad pop up and a url squatter site. They mention nothing about the color depth the LCD supports (probably an 18bit color cheapy LCD). And the software support list for the LCD tablet mentions "Metacreations" Painter but not Corel Painter. Metacreations sold Painter to Corel like 7 years ago! Nice....
No, I don't think anyone sane is gonna pass up Cintiq 21UX or the new DTF-720 for this bastitch...
